All Chapters of CONFESS TO ME: For God Until Him: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

BLAZE.His tears slid down his cheeks in slow, heavy lines and he mumbled the words again. I had been ready to pretend I didn't hear him the first time because it got harder as his lips quivered. Being next to the edge of the metal bed as my heart pounded in my chest, a sharp pain rolled in my ribs as if molten lead had been dumped down my throat. I tried to breathe shallow, steady breaths, my fingers curling into the palms of my hands as I fought against the sudden onslaught of memories. I swallowed the metallic taste of copper that clung to my teeth, the remnants of the shattered glass in my penthouse floor, fighting to keep my breaths even.‘Great, just great,’ I cursed myself mentally, internally screaming while my face remained carved out of solid ice. ‘Way to go, genius. You stand outside looking like a psychotic serial killer holding a bunch of stupid red roses, then you give him the cold shoulder by taking too long preparing to talk to him and now he's crying because he fee

BLAZE.I remained frozen in the doorway, my free hand clutching at the thick envelope of cash in my trousers.As the two men dragged the whimpering, bleeding mess of a man up from the floor, his head lolled back with a sickening, wet thud. The harsh overhead bulb revealed a familiar, bearded face, all puffed and swollen from the recent beating.It was the doctor who had taken care of me and mom when my father was hell bent on killing us. And he was currently on the receiving end of Damien's brutality."Uncle Damien..." I whispered, my voice thick with realization. "What is he doing here?""Good question lad. And I'm going to answer it as nicely as I can so you'll understand." Damien's smile never wavered as he set the glass down with a soft clink on the desk. "Your little secret is out, my boy, Blaze. Did you really think you could keep this from me?"My knees buckled, my heart pounding in my ears."It isn't, Uncle Damien," I lied, my voice trembling. "I don't know what you are talki

BLAZE.The encrypted number on my burner phone went off after only one ring"Speak," a rough voice growled from the other end, distorted slightly by the static and the distinct chill of an underworld kingpin."It's me. Kaius. Forget what I said last time. I'm in," I said calmly, my voice laced with the gravitas of a man twice my age. "I would like to be a part of it.""Did you think about this?" He asked. "Yes.""Alright. I'll see what I can do for you, kid. You can't back out when you want," the caller said, hanging up abruptly.~48-hours later, I was sweating in a dirty, subterranean warehouse in the industrial district of Haloshul. The reeking smell of old sweat, cheap whiskey, and stale tobacco filled my nostrils.Even before I got close enough to see the fighting pit, thick metal doors groaned open to reveal a large office. The boss was resting in a plush leather chair, surrounded by stacks of cash, empty liquor bottles, and a loaded 9mm. He introduced himself simply as Vindel.

BLAZE.I knew the longer Dex worked with the Bowscut, the higher my chances of being alive were gone. I had to tell Vindel but he wouldn't believe me so easily. That same night, I washed the blood off my skin, wore a new set of black pants, hoodie and a mask, turned the volume of my phone down, reduced the brightness till it was non-existent and tucked in my phone. I stepped out of my room, checked the passageway and moved as I confirmed it was clear. Slithering past the parked sedans of the syndicate, I dived beneath the hood of one of the cars and waited.The crunch of gravel announced the approach of the car’s driver and the doors opened. He got in and the engine turned over, pulling the car out slowly. I remained in my position, feeling the car's movement and heat and then it parked. Another car drove past and stopped, then a pair of dark boots stepped out, and the driver from the car I had hidden under came down. Slowly, I let go of my right hand, keeping my body in balance

BLAZE.A distant voice rang in my ear, then it got louder with the buzzing and I felt the air leave my lungs then a sharp searing heat tore through my chest. “Kaius!” “Are you insane? You shouldn't have done that. Kaius!” That was Vindel's voice. I gasped, catching my breath in my throat as my knees buckled and I slowly glanced down to see the blood seeping onto my hoodie leaving a damp spot. My hand touched down to the side and pulled back up shaky hands to my view, covered in blood. “Dex! I'll kill you!” Vindel screamed at him. “We don't touch children.”I was hit. I had shielded Vindel just in time with my body covering his as Dex pressed the trigger. The bullet had hit my left side close to my abdomen. Vindel pulled me back against his chest, his eyes widening in fury as the crossfire rose around us. My vision blurred and I could feel the strength in me fleeting. My hand dropped on the dirt and I touched Vindel's fallen gun. He looked at me for a second then back at Dex point
